The Russian Navy is currently one of the most actively developing fleets in the world. This was stated by the commander-in-chief of the Russian Navy, Admiral Nikolai Evmenov, adding that by the end of this year, the fleet will include four warships.
We are talking about the large landing ship "Peter Morgunov", the corvettes" Aldar Tsydenzhapov "and" Gremyashchy", as well as the mine defense ship"Yakov Balyaev". In an interview with the newspaper of the Russian Armed forces "Krasnaya Zvezda", the Admiral clarified that in total, about 40 warships, submarines, boats and support vessels were built in 2020.
According to Evmenov, in the interests of the Russian Navy, serial construction of strategic missile submarines of the Borey-A project and multi-purpose nuclear submarines of the Yasen-M project, frigates, corvettes and small missile ships continues. Serial construction of project 636.3 diesel-electric submarines for the Pacific fleet will also continue.
Earlier it was reported that the Russian cruiser Admiral Nakhimov was included in the list of the best warships in the world according to Military Watch Magazine. Russian nuclear-powered cruisers have been called one of the deadliest in the world. "Admiral Nakhimov" is currently undergoing modernization, but even in its original form, it is dangerous for opponents. The publication notes that after modernization, the cruiser will have an even greater advantage over competing classes of warships, since it will receive modern weapons and new electronic warfare systems.
